Gear Question!

Hi Everyone!

I don't know if this is the best place to be asking this question, but I am slightly desperate, and would appreciate any help possible.

I am an american Expat living in Australia and am going to start playing Ice Hockey again after a ten year hiatus, in hopes of a new rink being built here in Melbourne. It would be financially unfeasable for me to get new gear here, but in a few weeks I am going back to the states for a Visit (San Fran, Portland, Seattle, New York + Vancouver)

My question is whether anyone could possibly recommend a good shop where I can get some affordable gear (Everything, Skates + the lot...) I like the prices I see online, but I have no idea what my size would be, and I dont think I would be comfortable going into a pro shop to get fitted and then walk out and get everything online.

If anyone has any suggestions in the metro areas of one of the cities listed above, I would be in your debt. Thank you very much!

Best,
Jeremy

Most sites have fitting guides. That will tell you how to measure to figure our your sizes on the different pieces of equipment.

Hockeymonkey.com is good...that's where I used to buy most of my gear since Hockey shops out in Southern California are scarce.
